NOTICE: What loads you see posted by me above are not from any reloading manual. I don't have a book that shows any loads with Retumbo in the 300 WM. But a good friend is using it exclusively with amazing results, and he has been my guide in my work-up with this powder.
If you are going to...
I have just posted a couple of good 100-yd targets from my last outing to the range. The posted loads are not from the book, but are my personal work-up loads. I had no pressure signs in my loads at that level, but you might want to work-up gradually in your rifle.
Update -
I finally put together some test loads with Retumbo, based on the recommendations of the friend I have who has been using it in his 300 WM with great accuracy, and went to the range.
I will try to post some pictures of the best targets I have, but suffice it to say that I was able...
I have been in Africa for a few weeks, and so haven't done any reloading or shooting. Thanks for the info. One of my friends is using Retumbo and getting great accuracy.
Thanks for the info. I hope to start putting some loads together using heavier bullets soon.
The lead sled I purchased has a bean-bag front rest. My rifle had an accessory which worked its way back into that bag, and punctured it. I see now that the new models have a rubber compound front rest, which shouldn't have the same issue. I can't seem to find a replacement part for that...
Are you crafting loads for the 300 WM with Retumbo? I have a Rem 700 Long Range (with 1-10 twist barrel) and hear that this powder works well. What bullets work best with this powder, and what powder charges?
I just got an AX 2.0 chassis for a 300WM build-up that I am doing. The chassis came with one 5-rd mag. I would like to have a 10-rd mag as well. The magwell is narrow, and the provided mag is also narrow, a single-stack.
That is weird, because I have a first-model AX chassis for a 308...

Thanks for the reply. So, is there a "fix" for this?" I have been brainstorming one, but would like to see if there is already a wheel invented here.
I built a competition rifle using a .308 chambered Remington 700, and the Accuracy International AICS AX 2.0 chassis.
The chassis was desert tan, and had a desert tan 5-round magazine with it. I wanted to buy some new magazines for spares, and found some on ebay. I purchased a 10-round...
